Giant 40kg sausage remains at large

The iconic Sausage King of Toowoomba.
DARLING Downs butcher Mark Nolan says he has little information which could lead to the kidnappers of a 40kg fibreglass sausage from the roof of his Toowoomba shop.
The two-metre tall advertising sign was pulled from the roof of the shop in a 30-minute heist on Monday.
Mr Nolan said he had received one mysterious phone call telling him his reward of 10kg of sausages was inadequate.
"They said they wanted more than 120 sausages," he told AAP.
Mr Nolan said he had not reported the call to police because he presumed it was a hoax call after the sausage-napper offered a meeting at The Big Orange.
The butcher said even he was under suspicion from some sections of the community.
"Some people think I've been flogging my own sausage," he joked.
The theft has made national headlines, while Brisbane radio station Triple M has offered to add $500 to the reward.
